Product Overview
In this project, a drilled flange connection is modeled in Abaqus and its behavior under cyclic loading is investigated.
The numerical model is developed based on an experimental study reported in the reference paper. The Abaqus results are compared with the experimental results to evaluate the accuracy of the numerical model and its ability to reproduce the behavior of the tested connection.
Model Description
The model represents a drilled flange beam-to-column connection based on the configuration used in the experimental study.
The numerical model is developed according to the geometry and information provided in the reference article. The required material properties, interactions, boundary conditions, and analysis settings are defined in Abaqus to reproduce the behavior of the experimental specimen.
The Abaqus model is developed to investigate the structural response of the drilled flange connection when subjected to repeated cyclic loading.
Cyclic Loading
A cyclic loading is applied to the beam to investigate the behavior of the drilled flange connection under repeated loading and unloading cycles.
The loading history is defined using the Amplitude option in Abaqus according to the loading protocol used in the experimental study.
The response of the connection during the cyclic analysis is recorded and used to obtain its hysteretic behavior.
Results and Hysteresis Response
The Abaqus results are extracted and processed to evaluate the structural response of the drilled flange connection under cyclic loading.
The Drift–Moment hysteresis diagram obtained from the Abaqus analysis is compared with the experimental results reported in the reference article.
This comparison allows the accuracy of the numerical model to be evaluated and shows how closely the Abaqus model reproduces the experimental hysteretic response.
Experimental Validation
The numerical results obtained from Abaqus are compared with the experimental results reported in the reference research paper.
The comparison focuses on the Drift–Moment hysteresis response of the drilled flange connection under cyclic loading.
The numerical results show good conformity with the experimental results, demonstrating that the Abaqus model can reproduce the main characteristics of the experimental response.
